Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their school.”
- “They grow in confidence through roles and responsibilities such as librarian, junior road safety officer and school councillors.”
- “Pupils offer their views readily and develop confidence as they progress through each year group.”
To improve
- “In writing, however, and some wider curriculum subjects, staff do not consistently check pupils’ understanding as effectively as they could.”
- “As a result, some pupils have misconceptions that are not addressed, or gaps in their knowledge.”
- “Teaching has rapidly improved over the last year, but by the end of key stage 2 too many pupils are not secure in the knowledge they need across the full curriculum.”
